The Perfectionism Inventory

The Perfectionism Inventory is a tool used to assess a person’s tendencies toward perfectionism, which involves striving for high standards and aiming for flawlessness. It measures different aspects, such as the desire to meet self-imposed or external expectations, the cautiousness and concern about making mistakes, and the tendency to be highly organized. This helps psychologists understand how perfectionism influences behaviors, motivation, and emotional well-being. By identifying these traits, professionals can better support individuals in managing perfectionist tendencies that may cause stress or impact overall functioning.
